This research project aims at building a common framework for photonic and meta-material /electronic devices. As specific examples, we will focus on making key advances for THz and mid-infrared emitters and detectors. Our goal is to demonstrate device functionalities which ca...

The ERC "GEM" project broad goal is to develop a unifying framework for photonic and electronic devices. Namely, we wish to implement devices which borrow functionalities which are peculiar of radio-frequency antennas, blending the difference between electronics and photonics...

2 Publishable brief summary of the achievement of the project The goal of EnTeraPIC was to explore, implement, and experimentally demonstrate novel concepts for massively parallel optical communications within and between data centers. A special focus of the project was on...

The rapid growth of data traffic requires radically new approaches for high-speed data transmission to increase the bandwidth and power efficiency by orders of magnitude. The proposed research aims at novel system and device concepts for low-energy high-capacity optical inter...
